Bleu Jour Kubb Mini fanless mini PC, Digi Mart USA News: A new mini PC from French brand Bleu Jour, called the Kubb Mini, has reportedly appeared for sale in the United States, according to a technology report that cited a spotting by Fanlesstech. The compact, fanless desktop is designed around an unusually small cube-shaped enclosure.
The base model uses an Intel N150 Twin Lake processor, a four-core, six-watt chip made up entirely of efficiency cores with a peak boost clock of 3.6 GHz. The report says performance should be modest.
A higher-priced option uses an Intel Core i3-N300 processor with eight Crestmont efficiency cores, which the report says is almost 55% faster than the N150 in multithreaded workloads.
Both chips include integrated graphics, with 24 execution units on the N150 and 32 on the N300. The report describes them as suitable mainly for basic tasks such as video acceleration and retro gaming. Each configuration includes 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, which cannot be upgraded, and a 256 GB SSD installed in an M.2 slot that the report says should be easy to upgrade.
The Kubb Mini measures 8 cm on each side, or roughly 3.15 inches, for a net volume of 0.512 liters. The system is fully fanless, so the report says it operates silently.
Pricing reported by the publisher is $420 for the N150 model and $510 for the N300 model, both with 16 GB RAM and 256 GB storage.
The report also points to the Bosgame P6 Neo, listed at $499.99 on Amazon at the time of publication, as an alternative for buyers who care less about design and want more performance at a similar price. This is a single publisher report and has not been independently verified.
